"Ooh twinges....could this be it?"

I wish. Think I must be a closet royalist as I am rathrr excited about this impending birth. Anyone want to keep watch with me?

Where is she going to be birthing anyhow?

PrincessKitKat · 12/07/2013 09:49

Love this thread... Any news?!
My money is on the child being called 'Burton' as according to the interweb Kate may have got upduffed following her visit here. They are all for bringing the royals into the 21C so what better way than following this terrible sleb trend?!
Very exciting as Burton is just up the road from me, although is a grey & depressing place full of breweries and a smelly Marmite factory.

You must live near to me Princesskitkat

I've got inside connections to The Lindo Wing and think it's happening right now ... www.bit.ly/12puLku

Dillydollydaydream · 12/07/2013 16:57

Ooh exciting hope it all goes smoothly and baby Alex arrives safely.

heirraising · 12/07/2013 18:05

ALEX?

RoseFlowerFairy · 12/07/2013 18:08

exciting

TheOneWithTheHair · 12/07/2013 19:32

So does anyone know if it is actually soon? I can't keep up my current level of excitement for too long you know.

mazylou · 12/07/2013 19:38

Pineapple cock ring for Wills, STAT. Poor woman, I hope she has the birth she wants.

Snazzyenjoyingsummer · 12/07/2013 20:00

She's not actually in labour yet, then?

Derbylicious · 12/07/2013 20:28

Another one for the tax payer to support!!!

Derbylicious · 12/07/2013 20:49

I've nothing against them and wish them all the best, I can't get excited about the royals when so many families are living in poverty so this numbs my enthusiasm.

DeepRedBetty · 12/07/2013 21:21

Let's do the discussions about the wrongs and rights of the Class System, Hereditary Monarchy etc etc on another thread and leave this one to be about Harry going for whisky and cigars and the joy of having a MIL who is obsessed with horseracing and corgis.

Best wishes to all mothers-to-be everywhere.

WildThongsHeartString · 12/07/2013 21:25

^ what deep red Betty said^

I've always wanted to say that Grin

TheHandbagOfGlory · 12/07/2013 21:26

I wonder how it feels to be one of the other ladies giving birth there just now? I assume they haven't shut down the entire maternity wing, so I wonder if the other ladies who have paid lots to give birth there feel a bit pushed out, as it were?

Nicknamegrief · 12/07/2013 21:30

My gran had the same Dr as the queen when she was pregnant with Princess Anne (not for the birth though).

She has no amusing stories about it and she generally had amusing stories about most things.

imademarion · 12/07/2013 21:30

A Damehood to DeepRedBetty

So is she is labour yet? How lovely would it be to have Harry's happy grin round the door afterwards?

I really love the way the three of them pal about together.

MortifiedAdams · 12/07/2013 21:34

I wonder how different the names are to the ones she might have wanted to use sans royalty?

Pretty high pressure naming a human anyways!

It's going to be a boy called George.

DeepRedBetty · 12/07/2013 21:39

Might go and see if DameDeepRedBetty is available in the My Registration area...

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 12/07/2013 21:48

I can't decide if I want it to be a baby girl called Victoria or not. DD1 is Victoria and I can't decide whether it would be cool or annoying.

I do think it's weird I'm worrying about it!

BigW · 12/07/2013 21:58

When is she due? I heard that they always give a date to the press that is a week or so later than the actual due date, but all I have seen is that it's sometime in July.
